The nomination committee proposes as follows:
The Board proposes that the same principles adopted at the 2010 AGM be applied again in 2011, i.e: a fixed salary is paid for full-time work. In addition a variable bonus may be earned that is linked to the company's tied-up capital and earnings.
This variable bonus can be a maximum of 30-50% of annual salary depending on the individual's position within the company. The CEO's pension plan is premium-base and the annual premium corresponds to 30 per cent of annual salary. Pension payments for other senior executives follow the ITP collective agreement, except for one executive for whom pension payments amount to 8 times the basic index amount per year.
The CEO must give six months' notice of his intention to resign. If dismissed by the company, the CEO has the right to receive an amount corresponding to 18-24 months' salary (the final six months are dependent on new employment). For other executives, notification is 12 months for the company and six months for the individual. There are no agreements between Board members or senior executives and Nederman or any of its subsidiaries concerning benefits after the end of their employment. At present there are no share or share pricerelated incentive schemes involving Board members or senior executives. Nederman's senior executive team comprises seven individuals (including the CEO).
Appointment of the Nomination Committee: the chairman of the Board shall contact the three largest shareholders in the company based on the ownership details in Euroclear Sweden's register on the last business day of August each year. Each of these owners shall be entitled to appoint one representative, who together with the chairman of the Board shall comprise the Nomination Committee until a new committee is appointed. None of these three individuals should be a Board member. If any of the three largest shareholders waive their right to appoint a representative to the committee, the right to make an appointment shall go to the next shareholder in order of size of shareholding. If a member leaves the Committee before its work is completed, a new member shall be appointed, if the Committee so decides, by the same shareholder who appointed the departing member, or, if that shareholder is no longer one of the three largest shareholders, by the shareholder who is now entitled to make the
appointment. If ownership of the company changes before the committee has completed its work, the Nomination Committee shall be entitled to change its composition in the manner it sees fit.
One of the shareholder representatives of the Nomination Committee shall be its chairman. The chairman of the Board shall thus not be chairman of the Nomination Committee.
The Nomination Committee's assignment shall be to establish proposals, prior to the AGM, for the election of chairman of the Board and other members of the Board, chairman of the AGM, and fees and related matters, and where appropriate, the election of auditors. Details of the composition of the Committee shall be published no later than six months before the AGM. Committee members shall receive no remuneration, but any costs associated with the work of the committee shall be borne by the Company at the discretion of the committee.
The provisions of the Companies Act concerning procedures for convening a general meeting have been changed with effect from 1 January 2011, which provides an opportunity to simplify the announcement of the Annual General Meeting. The current wording in § 10 of the Articles of Association is:
"Notice of the Annual General Meeting shall be published in Post och Inrikes Tidningar (the Official Swedish Gazette) and Svenska Dagbladet, or, in the event of cancellation of the latter newspaper, in Dagens Industri".
The Board proposes that the wording of § 10 of the statutes is amended to read:
"Notice of the Annual General Meeting shall be published in Post och Inrikes Tidningar (the Official Swedish Gazette) and on the company website. That notice has been given shall be advertised in Svenska Dagbladet, or, in the event of cancellation of the latter newspaper, in Dagens Industri ".
The Annual Report and audit report are available at the company's premises and on the company's website, and will be sent to shareholders upon request.
